Criteria and Submission Information

The Biophysical Society will begin sponsoring small (100–150 attendees), recurring (biennial to triennial), multi-day conferences on focused topics within the broad realm of biophysics.

 

 

These conferences, held primarily in the United States and between the months of May and August, offer a unique opportunity to bring together senior researchers, postdoctoral researchers, and students to discuss the latest cutting-edge research in similar scientific areas.

Two to three proposals will be selected each year, and the Society will provide oversight and management of the conferences.
